Thursday

One of the problems with gainful employment, is that it messes with more important things.


Mr. Jeff Peckman of Denver, Colorado, has promised to show representatives of the Denver news media a video showing a real live space alien, this Friday. That according to a story in the Rocky Mountain News. Coincidentally, that is the same day that Merle Wayne Sneed planned to release a video of monkeys flying out of his butt.

It was golf today for the usual suspects and me. Since it has become hot, Seafood Jr. has retreated into his shell, not to emerge until November.

Because we were just three golfers, the starter sent a guy to join us. We'll just call him Larry. Larry was a pretty darn good golfer, but also a real sourpuss. Larry is affiliated with a major sports team, doing some sort of support work that allows him to live here in our fair city. He also has the demeanor of an on-duty mortician.

As we introduced ourselves on the first tee, I jokingly told Larry that I wanted to go ahead and apologize in advance for the behavior of my pals. Larry looked at me with a completely somber look and said, "Guys, lets just try to have a good round." I think that is coach-speak for no screw ups allowed.

Let's just say Larry didn't join in our usual hijinks on the course. In fact, let's just say we, and by we, I mean mostly me, annoyed the crap out of him. On the upside, the course was relatively empty, so the pace of play was brisk.

At the end of our round, after the dust of Larry's hasty departure had settled, we adjourned to a leisurely lunch, after which I came home and took a nice nap. Pretty good day if your name isn't Larry.

Dennis hopes you have a butt stylist and butt makeup artist.

It's just getting hotter everyday in Bombay. The maximum temperature for today is 35 degree celsius with 68% humidity. The rains aren't expected for ten more days.

Is it worse out there?

Kurt said...

Oh Merle, I would trade 105 degrees and dry for the heat and humidity we get here. It about kills me.

Ditto Kurt.

Kurt, where on earth do you live? The humidity is far less in my neck-o-the-woods than it used to be. I kind of miss the muggy days of late summer.
It is so much hotter and drought stricken now. I guess compared to a super dry climate it could seem like an intolerable steam bath though. . ???. I walked 5 miles today and humidity never entered my mind.

Merle... a wise man once told me, if you ever have a problem, go to Merle Sneed.

so here I am-- and today a huge regiment of big ants marched into my kitchen through the baseboard I think-- outside is a deck and some earth, so it's a straight shot for them, no matter which wall. OK, I hope they're slab ants and not carpenter ants, but about 50 of them came in all at once, I've been picking them up with a wet paper towel. they keep coming in and I'm tired. Windex does not kill them. I'm asking my helpful hardware man, what should I do to stop this madness?

Lighten up, Larry! Geez!
